1 John 4vs1-18 Thirst-quenching offer St Helen s Church Scripture quotations are from The Holy Bible, English Standard Version, published by Harper Collins 1 Publishers by Crossway Bibles, a division of Good News Publishers. Used by Permission. All rights reserved.

2 Thirst-quenching offer John 4 vs 1-18 In ch 3 we looked at who Jesus is, and how we get into his kingdom. Now we see: What does Jesus offer? And to whom is the offer made? The shock is that this offer comes to the most unlikely person Read John 4 vs 1-18: Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee. 4 And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, Give me a drink. 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. 11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock. 13 Jesus said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. 15 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water. 16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. 17 The woman answered him, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You are right in saying, I have no husband ; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true. 2

3 Setting the scene 1) JACOB The grandson of Abraham - and known as Israel! Jacob was promised that he would: Experience God s blessing Experience God s presence Be the father of God s people The 12 tribes of Israel are named after ten of his twelve sons, and after two of his grandsons descended from his son Joseph... (that s Joseph of Amazing Technicolor dream coat fame!) v 6: Jacob's well The Well of Jacob is at the very centre of the original Promised Land So its water is part of God s promises to the nation of Israel. It s a seriously important holy place to the Jews...and still visited today! 2) THE SAMARITAN WOMAN Samaria was the most northern part of Israel. When Israel was overrun by the Assyrians in the 8 th Century BC, there was a forced deportation of the Samaritan people of the time and the re-population by all nations/backgrounds and faiths. The Assyrian intent was to crush Judaism successfully destroying the purity of the Jewish people in one go by inter-racial marriage. Hence, over time, a Samaritan was totally despised by the Jews viewed as a mixed race with a mixed religion in short, a mixed-up people! 3

4 Read John 4 v 10: Jesus answered her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. What is the gift of God? Answer: Living Water What of the water that Jesus offers? Read John 4 v 14: but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Jesus is using water (H2O) and the life that it brings as picture language for the spiritual life that he offers WHAT a contrast: o From Jacob s well -... just a temporary thirst quench o To Jesus v 14 ETERNAL Life never ending but it ends thirst! v 13: Jesus said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again Remember ch 3 v 36 : Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him....what do we have here? A promise of Eternal Life /Eternal Fulfilment - ch 4 v 14: but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life 4

5 We have begun to see that the life Jesus offers includes the following: His living presence His Holy Spirit Forever Starting NOW!!!!! Just as we saw in John 1 v 33: THIS is he who baptises with the Holy Spirit You can only truly give of something if it is yours to give So Jesus is giving of himself...as God! The Spirit = GOD WITHIN!! God takes up residence within us! The presence of God himself within us - makes us satisfied - FULL! Expect the unexpected Who is this offer made to? Jesus is talking to a (despised) Samaritan: v 9: How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) We will see in the next study that, even worse Jesus is talking to a woman!! v 27: Just then his disciples came back. They marvelled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, What do you seek? or, Why are you talking with her? 5

6 Therefore we have: In the Left Hand Corner: A non-jew (a Samaritan)! A woman! Married 5 times v 18: for you have had five husbands...so not great at relationships! Living in sin: v 18: and the one you now have is not your husband. There is a name for her...and it s not polite! In the Right Hand Corner The high and mighty Nicodemus of ch 3, The teacher of Israel who Jesus told must be born again So what does this say about who Jesus offers eternal life to? Here we have Jesus giving Himself to the lowest of the low Here we have the sinner personified... Read John 3 vs 16-17: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Jesus crosses over the following distinct barriers: o Racial o Gender o Religious o Moral In contrast to the snooty behaviour of the pure law-abiding Jews - God s People - we see God giving Himself to the rank outsider: o NOT a Jew, o a woman no less... o and racially and morally impure! 6

7 Conclusion Jesus has come to make the offer of God s kingdom to the whole world!! Next steps Clarity as to who Jesus is A real lesson for the disciples! A village transformed! 7

8 John 4 vs Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee. 4 And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, Give me a drink. 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. 11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock. 13 Jesus said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. 15 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water. 16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. 17 The woman answered him, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You are right in saying, I have no husband ; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true. 8
